“I also know your thoughts you will think tomorrow”
In this snippet of a longer recording, Adi K. Irani talks about being honest with Baba. He shares with us an incident from his early days at Manzil-e-Meem in the 1920s, when Baba caught Adi and Dr. Ghani lying to Him. He uses this story to illustrate the futility of lying to God, when He knows our minds and hearts better than we ever could.
